'To be asked to join the Board of Directors at the club that you have supported all of your life is probably the dream of every football fan and I am delighted to be in a position to accept that invitation. To be able to contribute to the running of Notts County and to hopefully help move the club forwards is all I have ever wanted really.'

Chairman Ray Trew said of the appointment.

'We are delighted to welcome Mark onto the Board. He has everything we could ask for in a Director. Mark's commitment is unquestionable and to have added his drive and enthusiasm, coupled with his financial backing obviously, is a fantastic step for the club.'
